STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

sex-1Steroid hormone receptor family member cnr14; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. (534 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
xol-1
XO lethal protein 1; Acts as a primary sex-determining factor that promotes sexual differentiation. Absolutely required for proper sexual differentiation and male viability. High expression during gastrulation triggers male development, while low expression at that time triggers hermaphrodite development. Although related to GHMP kinase, its mode of action remains unclear; Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. Xol-1 subfamily.

fox-1
Sex determination protein fox-1; A member of the sex determination pathway involved in making the distinction between one and two X-chromosomes. RNA-binding protein that regulates alternative splicing events by binding to 5'-UGCAUG-3' elements. Regulates alternative splicing of tissue-specific exons. Promotes binding of sup-12 to target RNA.
   
  
 0.896
gei-8
Nuclear receptor corepressor 1; Mediates transcriptional repression by certain nuclear receptors. Plays a role in development and neuronal function. May play a role in muscle-specific oxidative mitochondrial metabolism.
    
 0.886
sea-1
T-box transcription factor 18; Probable transcriptional regulator involved in developmental processes. Activates xol-1 transcription, either directly or indirectly, establishing that xol-1 acts as the master regulator to integrate both X chromosome and autosomal signals to determine sexual fate.
   
  
 0.863
ceh-39
Homeobox protein ceh-39; Probable DNA-binding regulatory protein involved in cell-fate specification; Belongs to the CUT homeobox family.
   
  
 0.852
asd-1
RRM domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.832
sdc-2
Sex determination and dosage compensation protein sdc-2; Component of the SDC complex that functions in sex determination and in X chromosome dosage compensation specifically in hermaphrodite (XX) animals. Required for the recruitment of the condensin I-like dosage compensation complex to the male sex-determining autosomal gene her-1, thereby contributing to its repression and initiating hermaphrodite sexual development. Plays a central role in X-chromosome recognition and in the recruitment and assembly of the dosage compensation complex and the dosage compensation protein dpy-21 onto [...]
   
  
 0.825
sea-2
C2H2-type domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.810
her-1
Protein her-1; Dictates male development. Probably plays a direct role in cell signaling during C.elegans sex determination. Inhibits the function of tra-2a.
   
  
 0.806
sdc-1
Zinc finger protein sdc-1; Embryonic transcription factor regulating downstream genes involved specifically in the sex determination and dosage compensation pathways, or regulating other genes involved in the coordinate control of both processes. Component of the SDC complex that functions in sex determination and in X chromosome dosage compensation specifically in hermaphrodite (XX) animals. Involved in the recruitment of the condensin I-like dosage compensation complex to the male sex-determining autosomal gene her-1, thereby contributing to its repression and initiating hermaphrodit [...]
